The Door to the Future Pioneering a new path forward only happens when the pioneer actually walks on the path. Over the last few years many organizations have witnessed many changes. The organizations whose past successes brought them to the door of the future are finding...

So agree with this. When is it that we become so proud of the past we don't look to the futur?. As a VA I have to stay relevant, it is our job. Quite glad really because manual typewriters were hard work.

HOW TO AVOID EATING GRANDMA! (Punctuation saves lives)In today’s world of text speak, blogging and one line emails, is punctuation still important? Is it an unnecessary complication to our already complicated lives? Should children still be taught to punctuate correctly? In a few short years, the rise...

While in college, a short few years ago, I noticed many punctuation marks. However, that is not all. I also noticed many misspelled words. I had gone back to college at the age of 65. The ones that were making these mistakes were fresh out of high school. Most did not know the difference of the words your, you’re, or a lot, and many others.How did they graduate from high school to college? I do not care if we tweet, Facebook, LinkedIn, or any other social media; we need the correct punctuation. We might use the computer more than we hand write material, but we still need to know how to write and use punctuation and spelling.Thank you for the article. I hope others read it. I have many friends who are educators and they are always posting lessons on punctuation. Oh, I mean they are posting those lessons on social medias where people forget how use punctuations and such.

Hi @Lisa Dellow, congrats on such a buzzworthy post. We have shared it onto beBee's official social media pages on LinkedIn, Twitter, Google+, and Facebook. Feel free to drop by those pages to see your post and follow beBee on social media.

Great article @Lisa Dellow I didn't eat my Grandma, I bought her the book "Eats shoots and leaves" . She was also a fan of proper use of the apostrophe. I hope you are enjoying it here on beBee cc @Matt Sweetwood@Javier beBee .

Some articles you read and are moved to comment on and share immediately. I did that with this article, but what is different with this one is I am still thinking about it a couple of days later. I think I need a beBee "scrap book" for brilliant articles like this.

John, kudos to you for making the positive change necessary to advance your career in an uncertain job market. You provide a good roadmap for others to follow should they choose to take "a leap of faith." Like I always say, no risk no reward. And I'm very pleased that you are reaping the well deserved rewards. I shared this here, on Twitter and on LI.

@John White, MBA, all 8 tips are great and #5 is simply perfect - but personally, it is the payoff of the last two lines - not having to feel nauseous on Sunday night - that is really what becoming your own personal brand is all about, And we also proved it is far from lonely - there is so much 'power' available once you have built that community. Insights, encouragement, and assistance is merely a comment away.

Very helpful advice @John White, MBA . I can't decide if point #5 or #6 is my favorite, but many people fail to realize point 5: "Before creating content, you need an audience."This post is the perfect "how to" complement to yesterday's New York Times op-ed "Don’t Quit Social Media. Put It to Work for Your Career Instead." http://nyti.ms/2gZDkwL

Thoroughly enjoyed that @John White, MBA I particularly enjoyed points 5 and 6. They are about community, listen to others and comment on what interests them. We should be doing this offline as well as online.

Great article dear @John White, MBA!! And four years ago I felt exactly like you, I didn't have any visibility on Google, I didn't have LinkedIn profile, neither Twitter (well I had Twitter with zero tweets which is even worse...), and no web site. And now I look back and see the difference, and I support every of your steps on this article on Inc. Magazine.Well done!! And thanks for opening a path for some people. 😘

Here’s a Quick Way to Stop Those Embarrassing TextsThe pen was once mightier than the sword. Today, there is something even more dangerous – the send button.I am not afraid of the words I write, for they are easy to edit, undo and delete. The part that scares me is that little send button. It...

Good thinking, Ari. That second glance often saves the requirement for many recovery texts - or flower delivery. I have a 24 hour rule when I'm angry or frustrated. I write the message and save in the drafts until I can read it for tone, calmly. Good reminder here.

Some people say "Love means never having to say you're sorry"...I don't know if they say that all of the time...maybe everybody says it some of the time. Hopefully this will be helpful for some folks or maybe partially helpful for all.

On the day my mother passed, I got a text from an unknown number offering assistance relating to my grief period.I responded with "Who the hell is this?"It was my new boss. I hadn't stored his number, yet.Fortunately, we'd worked together on occasion when we were equals, and he knew I was a smartass.He responded with ""I see you haven't changed a bit."

Great post, @Ari Sytner. It is easy enough to say the wrong thing when we are speaking, never mind in a text or email. I like your "slow send" habit. It's always good to rethink things. Shared this post all over for you.

I Am MoreI'm a newBee, (thank you @MSweetwood for finding and following me on Twitter) and having read and enjoyed many articles already I thought it was about time to introduce myself and share my story, or its prelude as @Jim-Murray says.But that poses its...

@Elizabeth Bailey Aha...You have summed up your story, with a tincture of frankness and honesty. The best part is to be on your own, with determination and toil, and shape success. I am sure when you flip your past and measure your endeavors, you'll realize how tough it was to accomplish something that's now a worthwhile success. Good wishes to you and welcome to the world of buzzing, bolstering beBee!
